About the Osage Nation Museum

The Osage Nation Museum is the oldest tribally-owned and operated museum in the United States. The Museum opened its doors in 1938 and over the past 77 years has continued to welcome visitors from across the United States and abroad. It is the mission of the ONM to foster the education of the public about the history, traditions, and customs as well as artistic and cultural expressions of the Osage people through its exhibition and educational programs that nurture creativity and encourage active learning.

2015 brought a multitude of changes to this long standing, cultural gem of the Osage Nation. The Museum has experienced a staffing reorganization, as well as the implementation of many new construction projects. Our focus is to present the history of the Osage Nation to its audience today while looking forward to educating future generations.
